Vegan Pesto

This pesto sauce is great for pastas, sandwiches, potatoes and more.

If you add unsweetened coconut milk, you can make a creamy pesto sauce and add pasta with mushrooms and spinach.

  • 1/4 cup raw cashews (or any nut of your liking)

  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons water

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Rinse the basil and place it in the food processor along with the remaining ingredients.
